This should be the standard in greater LA.

Santa Monica can do it. Why can't Los Angeles?

It’s Santa Monica, there are a ton of bus stops (OP rode past one in the first 10 seconds of the video) and this isn’t every single road, or even most of them. Bike lanes that aren’t protected from traffic lead to dead cyclists, which on balance I think is probably worse than using the bus stop or getting out one block over.
